Biografía:
Ray Scott refers to two musicians. One is a contemporary country musician. The other was a rockabilly star from Indiana who produced classic rockabilly music in the 1950's, often with his band, the Demens or his other band, the Four Recorders. Ray Scott (Henry Raymond Scott) died in 1999.
The contemporary Ray Scott grew up outside of Semora, North Carolina. He was influenced by the farming community around him and by the country outlaw movement (Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson).

Am7 G D
Just like the one that I came from.

Am7 G D
As I was loadin' up and sayin' my goodbyes
Am7 G D
some redneck einstein said to me
Am7 G D
"Well I see ya' packed up your suitcase,
Am7 G D
And I seen ya' throw it in the truck.
Am7 G D
Headin' off to the big town are ya?
Am7 G D
Hmmph! Well son I wish ya' luck.
Am7 G D
Now I don't mean to bust your bubble...
Am7 G D
But boy, the way your thinkins' wrong.
Am7 G D
Go on out and chase that foolish dream of yours. Heh!
Am7 G D
You'll be back before too long.
Chorus:(changes a little more to singing style)
Am7 G D
'Cause you a plowboy! You ain't no city boy!

Am7 G D
Just tryin' to make you understand.
Am7 G D
Verse 2: What you better do is put them overalls back on.
Am7 G D
Go on out and fix that ol' barn door.
Am7 G D
Keep your far fetched fantasies to yo'self
Am7 G D
And fetch a load of feed down at the country store.
Am7 G D
Better yet, go on! Have at it.
Am7 G D
Go see how high you can fly.
Am7 G D
But you best be back when that green leaf comes in, boy!
Am7 G D
We gonna need your help come July!

Verse 3: Well here I am a few years later.
Am7 G D
Sure come a long way from that old farm.
Am7 G D
I got stocks and bonds and a house with a cement pond
Am7 G D
Got a genuine rolex on my arm
Am7 G D
Well I'd like to ask him what the taste of crow is like.
Am7 G D
See him face the fact that he was wrong.
Am7 G D
You see, I always knew where I was headed
Am7 G D
But I never forgot where I was from... Yeeeeah..
Am7 G D
Chorus 2: I'm a plowboy. I ain't no city boy
Am7 G D
Whoa I was born with dirty hands.
Am7 G D
Look at me now, boy! Sho' is a pretty boy!
Am7 G D
I could'nt make ya' understand
Am7 G D
Go milk that cow boy! And that wood needs splittin' boy
Am7 G D
And ya' best get back to bailin' hay!
Am7 G D
Yeah I'm a plowboy but now look whos' silly boy!
Am7 G D
From now on be careful what you say... ya' hear?
